Try not to laugh when Schmidt does slam poetry to impress a girl, I dare you. Their chemistry is better than ever, making 22 Jump Street a hilarious buddy comedy. Jenko settles into the football team, and makes friends at a fraternity, while Schmidt performs slam poetry and does many walks of shame. This is a testament to Hill and Tatum, who put so much work into creating these characters. Captain Dickson (Ice Cube) is also in rare form, delivering some of the film's best moments. New characters such as Zook (Wyatt Russell) and Mercedes (Jillian Bell) feel right at home within the crazy cast. While the plot is pretty standard and similar to the first film, you'll want to stick around because you love these characters so much. 22 Jump Street always keeps you on edge, wondering what will happen next. This includes having a shootout in the university library and busting a Spring Break beach party. Their personalities clash once more, but in a different way than the first film, and they get into even more crazy shenanigans than before.

The excellent characters of Schmidt and Jenko are once again paired to make a hilarious and charismatic duo. play hard? yes.) What worked with 21 Jump Street works again in 22 Jump Street. Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) must once again go undercover at MC State to bust another drug operation, this time called WHYPHY (work hard? yes. As Ice Cube says at the end of the first film, in which the two went undercover at a high school, the tables have been turned and they're going to college now. This time around, they're going to college. But is that really a complaint? With 22 Jump Street, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (The LEGO Movie) have created a massively entertaining ride, with more antics from the characters we love, and better performances all around. If there's one criticism I have about 22 Jump Street, it's that the movie feels too similar to 21 Jump Street.
